Weekly Check In: Making you think twice about that SUGAR COOKIE!
Howdy!
A day late, but here it is.
Mom's in the hospital. Got herself two new valves. Should be good for another 100,000 miles. They took her breathing tubes out this morning. Still groggy from the drugs. And I am at work -- searching in vain for a good sugar cookie (BAD, BAD, BAD PATTI). Luckily, I think the starving bachelors club got 'em before I got to work today.
I WILL BE STRONGER THAN THE COOKIE!!
I WILL BE STRONGER THAN THE COOKIE!!
I WILL BE STRONGER THAN THE COOKIE!! (Need to repeat this mantra 472 times!!)
Starting Weight: 388
Last Week: 269
Today: NO IDEA (I will edit after I step on the scale tomorrow morning)
Everyone have a wonderful Christmas if you celebrate. Or a wonderful whatever holiday.
UPDATE: Somehow I have maintained 269, for which I am thankful!!!

One food makes you larger, and one food makes you small...
Come on Folks!!
It's really okay to post. If you want to leave your weight off this week, because you, like myself have had more of those EVIL COOKIES
than you should, go right ahead. (I WISH I DUMPED MORE EASILY.)
However, since I decided at the beginning of my journey that I didn't want to redo my ticker to show weight gain when I was stalling, I will own up (tomorrow morning when I remember to get on the scale).
((HUGS))

3lbs...well better than last week. I was hoping that I'd be a fast loser, but I'm greatly enjoying being able to work out and live more normally! Thankfully, sugar makes me dump so I won't have to worry about that- but I've got to stay away from Carbs.....so yummy....so bad!!!!

At this point (14 mo. out), I think that the weight loss window is close to being closed, but I hope not! I am happy for any losses that come my way. They are few and far between these days. I gained a couple pounds over Thanksgiving. It took a few weeks to lose that and another pound. I have been really busy with work and the holidays, so I haven't had too much time to go too crazy with overeating. (Boredom is my downfall). My house is pretty chaotic right now. (Never do a remodel during the holidays-didn't have much choice due to burst pipes and water damage .) I am tired of tripping over plumbers and carpenters and everything being torn up. Walking the dog has kept me a little saner. Exercise helps my mood more than my figure these days. It calms me when the pounding of hammers and writing of checks has me ready to throttle someone!
I hope everyone is doing well. Happy Holidays to all!

There has been so much food and sweets around my job and everywhere else I go and I am proud to say that I actually am still happy with not even thinking about having anything. My highest weight was 392 and happily I am at 295 right now which just amazes me!!!! I have lost 97 pounds, and the last 5 have just been in the last week. Somehow I just had a chunk come off, but it was consistent slower pace prior. I am just so excited and loving how I feel, I just hold onto that and so far don't give sweets a second look. Before surgery sweets were beyond my "drug" of choice. Happy holidays to everyone, enjoy the time with your families!!!
